Introducing the Panerai Royal Navy Clearance Diver PAM00664 - Limited to just 50 pieces!

Today we’re looking at a very special, exclusive piece. This is the Panerai PAM664 Royal Navy Clearance Divers Edition. This piece was released as a special tribute to the Royal Navy’s Clearance Branch. Furthermore, it was exclusively created and available only to serving members of Royal Navy. Panerai PAM664 was released on 25th March 2016 for a special event that honoured the Royal Navy’s Clearance Branch. 

The 664 is limited to only 50 pieces which makes this watch even more extraordinary. In a 44mm Submersible case with luminous dot markers, date and sub-seconds dial, it’s a well-designed model that one would struggle to criticise. Prices of this model has fluctuated in recent years, with one even going at auction for over £32000. 

So the detail that makes this piece so special is the caseback – it has the Royal Navy crest on the back along with all other standard Panerai marks. This crest is the one thing making this timepiece so special and sought after.

The 664 is based on a pretty-much identical Panerai model, the PAM024. The big difference is the exclusivity factor, given it’s special tribute to the clearance divers and  its scarcity, The 664 houses an OPIII automatic movement, with a power reserve of 42 hrs with a date and small seconds complication.

What’s so interesting about this model is that out of all the special, military dedicated watches that Panerai makes, this one got it’s own PAM number – PAM664. This is a bit unexpected considering that this watch was exclusive to Royal Navy’s serving clearance divers only. Another interesting fact is that all of the watches had to be collected from Harrods.

This watch remains a great model within Panerai, not just due to its scarcity and exclusivity, but also due to its favourable design resembling the iconic PAM24, one of the most popular Submersibles in Panerai’s history.  If you are interested in purchasing this model, please head over to our listing
